FRESH PRODUCE - ORGANIC & SPRAYFREE

IMPORTANT! If ordering for outside of Timaru, please add a minimum of 1 Frozen Chiller Pack to your order HERE

We recommend adding Frozen Chiller Packs to ALL fresh produce orders, including root vegetables e.g. Turmeric Root. We recommend also selecting adding this option for Medjool Dates as well.

Fresh produce sent NZ wide is at your own risk as we do not have a chilled transport option, however we now have chiller packs available to help reduce the risk. If you are ordering a lot of fresh produce we recommend adding 2 or more packs. You can add things like Avocados, Apples, Carrots, Potatoes, Kumara & other hard well travelling produce to your orders from all over NZ as these will travel better than other produce well but common sense would prevail that if you are in the North Island (2 days delivery non rural) then an organic lettuce or bunch of kale is not going to be the best even with a chiller pack so perhaps those type of things are better not added to your wholefood order but are good for local (South Canterbury) pick ups from our shop Amore Food Market & Cafe, 1 Sarah Street, Timaru or short haul deliveries overnight. Please do not select NZ Post Bags as the shipping option for any fresh produce you may order.

If you have any questions about delivery options please contact Kelly 0276440745
